About The Evergreens
Here at The Evergreens, we provide residential care for older people, younger adults, and those in need of respite care, right in the heart of Bournemouth. We are proud to be part of the local community and to offer a place where people can feel genuinely at home, whether they are joining us for a short stay or settling in with us long term. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family can make, and we do not take that trust lightly. From the moment someone walks through our door, we want them to feel welcomed, listened to, and comfortable. Our team takes the time to get to know each person as an individual, understanding their routines, preferences, and what matters most to them in daily life. Our care is tailored to suit a range of needs. We support older people who require residential care, as well as younger adults who need a caring and appropriate environment to call home. We also offer respite care for those who need a temporary place to stay, giving family carers the opportunity to rest while their loved one is looked after with the same level of attention and warmth we give to everyone here. We were pleased to receive a rating of "good" from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine commitment of everyone who works here. That said, we are always looking at how we can do things better and we actively welcome feedback from residents and families. Bournemouth is a wonderful place to live, and we try to make the most of everything the area has to offer, whether that means trips out, community events, or simply enjoying the surroundings. We would love to hear from you if you would like to find out more about life at The Evergreens.
